I bear witness that Allah is the only one worthy of worship and Muhammad salallahu Salam, his last and final messenger.

00:00:49--> 00:01:02

My dear brothers and sisters, I read once, enjoy the little things in life. For one day, you will look back and realize the were the big things.

00:01:03--> 00:01:08

And when I read that code that really stuck with me, since I read it,

00:01:09--> 00:01:23

and I it just makes so much sense to me. And there are so many application for that coat, enjoy the little things in life for one day you will look back and realize they were the big things in life.

00:01:24--> 00:01:26

The small things matter.

00:01:27--> 00:01:31

And today I would like to talk to you about important the importance

00:01:32--> 00:01:58

of caring for these little things and a small things called small things because indeed they are not they were made and shaped of the small things that we do. Our relationships are even character, our identity it made of that even our religion is made of small little things together, you put together and that would make the religion

00:01:59--> 00:02:03

in Nabi SallAllahu Sallam when he told us about

00:02:04--> 00:02:46

the little small sins that people don't care for it. Yep, all the HTML and a lot of what will happen to you will lick No, they will be gathered. He will do a little things here and there sitting here and send their small things, and it'll accumulate so many of them and they will lead that person to hellfire. But also in the other hand, in Al Hasan, not a Sameera devotee of Allah and son who now has not yet to meet in a head time gene and abdomen TM. Also the small little good deeds you do here and there will accumulate until they will advance you in the Day of Judgment will save you in the Day of Judgment will raise your level on the Day of Judgment, the smile, the advice, the salam, the

00:02:46--> 00:03:17

Subhanallah Alhamdulillah Allah Allah Allah Allah Allahu Akbar, the DUA the prayer that you send, Colin Nabi Salam, lo bacteraemia. Kudo. Hala you tabula who Bihari La La OMO piano, you might say a word that Allah will be pleased with you because of it. Until the day of judgment, these small things makes a huge difference. I don't know theme was the student necessarily had a guest or a poor person came to his house, so his wife made some food for him.

00:03:18--> 00:03:22

So when she gave it to him, he took the food like kind of sweet.

00:03:23--> 00:03:34

Um, Robbie was uh, you know, he making sure it looks proper. Looks nice. From raw dessert, his wife, she said, Kenny, why are we doing that the person is blind.

00:03:36--> 00:03:39

Kinda didn't know Arma Carla keen Allah Hi SMA Hara

00:03:41--> 00:03:48

he blys blind, he can see what you're doing. He said, But Allah does. Allah sees and hears

00:03:50--> 00:03:53

these things matter for him.

00:03:54--> 00:04:00

You know, because success is the sum of a lot of small things done correctly.

00:04:02--> 00:04:15

If you're going to achieve excellence in big things, you develop the habit and let them matters. Excellent is not exception. It says a prevailing attitude.

00:04:16--> 00:04:25

It's a practice is having the attitude of doing these little small things and caring about it and that will lead you to be you know, a successful person.

00:04:26--> 00:04:40

I would like to talk to you more in details about this concept and how in our religion this concept is important. And it is a natural thing. By the way. It's a natural thing that little things makes a lot of impact. Why?

00:04:42--> 00:04:58

Because when you care, especially with dealing with people with little things, it means that you will care about big things as well. If you take care of the details, you will also take care of most likely you will take care of the big issues as well.

00:04:59--> 00:04:59

And also

00:05:00--> 00:05:13

When you take care of all you care about small things, when you deal with someone and you care about the small, the small things, that means you care about the person really, things don't matter people do

00:05:14--> 00:05:21

in Enya shares so here I have a tiny Terminal in San, you value the person.

00:05:22--> 00:06:06

And by the way, that's human nature, human nature that the kid about details was saying earlier, there is a study was shown about why people buy cars, those who want to buy a car, they said they found that actually most of people buy car after what after they go to the dealers, if you ever go to the dealers, you will notice what the dealer the salesperson tried to show you all the little small things in the car, the cupholder the light, the LDI change, you know, the wood, you know the shiny wood inside, you know how the glove compartment looks like as if you got to sit inside, you know, already these little small things, the rims how it looks like these things matter actually

00:06:06--> 00:06:11

that metallic color. These little things make people buy the car.

00:06:12--> 00:06:18

Most of the people it mattered to them the most. You know that's what stuck in their head.

00:06:20--> 00:06:38

Remember somebody is telling Misha I love you to mustard mashallah I said does that Calaca I love click isn't not my message community message I love click. You know what I love about when I go to click off the shoe racks how there is no shoes on the floor? I said that's what you like, what about the hut by the Imam, the Salah

00:06:40--> 00:06:45

the shoes is the thing that stuck with him. And you know, there's little things in the bathroom you know?

00:06:46--> 00:06:58

But that's how human nature is. That's why it's shady as hell am I cared about small things to and in the visa salon was an example of that and see how it makes huge difference.

00:07:00--> 00:07:20

For instance, Canon Nibi so Salamina Dahu I had when someone called the prophets of salaam can Lyle tivity really he is somebody Belial tivity really he beside the wrestler Salah when someone call him he will not just look turn his cheek to see who is talking. Now he will turn completely saw Salam and face the person with his chest

00:07:22--> 00:07:34

at small thing, but it makes a huge difference. Can I either suffer how I had when someone shake his hand cannula took his truck, he will not leave his hand until the person leaves first.

00:07:36--> 00:07:45

Unfortunately today you I knew you're lucky if you got even a shake hand with some people. So I go if it's one second iContact will be nice.

00:07:48--> 00:08:01

That small things means a lot that's why the Sahaba said I still remember the person and putting his hand on my shoulder. I remember the for holding my hand and the processor limb or went all the way and was walking next to me.

00:08:03--> 00:08:10

These small things makes jasola He said so SallAllahu Sallam came to me and he said yeah my god I love you for the sake of Allah.

00:08:12--> 00:08:14

These things makes a lot of difference.

00:08:16--> 00:08:20

Kind of Nabi SallAllahu sallam, every time he sees someone who smile first,

00:08:21--> 00:08:40

he will be the first one to smile to people. When he speak with someone he will never interrupt the person. He will wait until the person finish and he said I follow the need for example. Even this is the frown of this ummah. Yet when he was talking the problem was listening attentively makes a lot of difference.

00:08:42--> 00:08:44

Your call any apart

00:08:45--> 00:08:48

in the Rajala you had this and we will Hadith

00:08:49--> 00:08:52

first time you know who can be a what a man who has Tamela

00:08:53--> 00:08:55

we're in Nila submitted to cabinet and Hewlett.

00:08:57--> 00:09:27

I bought the student of bass. That's the tarbiyah This is how the raised by the best of generation. I thought the student Abbas said, a young man will tell me Hadith and I will listen to it so attentively as if I'm first shown excitement and give him attention as if it's my first time to hear the Hadith. And the young man who feels so good. That's about the grace the scholar of the Tabin an apostle and Allah He I heard this narration before this young man even was born.

00:09:29--> 00:09:33

But that makes a huge difference when it comes to dealing with each other's

00:09:34--> 00:09:50

you know, Allah above his throne above the heavens, revealed to us versus giving us and establishing rules about what if somebody agreed you, you have to greet him with similar or better

00:09:52--> 00:09:59

because small things matter. Anyone so big deal about somebody says Salam Alikum Walaikum Salam Alikum wanna know you

00:10:00--> 00:10:13

It is wajib on you if somebody said As salam aleikum wa rahmatullah is to say why they come salaam Rahmatullah or y equals Salam rahmatullah wa barakatu if you want to add, but you cannot say Y equals sunnah but only

00:10:14--> 00:10:22

I will still people I kind of hard for me when people send me an email as salam aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato. I have to reply, why are they gonna sit?

00:10:23--> 00:10:35

too long to write? But you know what, that's me. That's you might say what so big deal it is a big deal. It Toby and I had a shuttle bus into Lahoma Atlanta and if it sees enough's

00:10:36--> 00:10:42

raising the Muslims upon caring about these things, it has a long term impact.

00:10:43--> 00:10:47

It raised them to be successful because they care about the small things.

00:10:48--> 00:10:54

Yes, in Ibiza Salam said late and I jump in and do nothing Malaysia, Lee kala Hassan,

00:10:55--> 00:10:57

what's so big, it is a big deal.

00:10:58--> 00:11:08

It might not seem to be a big of issue, but it is sharing. And there is rules is saying if three people two cannot talk privately, and they leave the third one out.

00:11:09--> 00:11:11

Why? Because that's not a good feeling.

00:11:13--> 00:11:30

In private or on a language that he cannot understand. Me and my friend, we took speaking Arabic, and this person doesn't know Arabic. I don't care. No, you should. What's so big deal? It is something in Sharia important.

00:11:31--> 00:11:43

Shift. How can there be some care about these small things? When somebody invites him to food, he will never criticize food ma so some firemen got into UCLA in law, Mr. Tanaka.

00:11:44--> 00:11:47

He'd like it, he will eat it, he would like it. He will not eat it.

00:11:49--> 00:12:11

Another one, the president said if you had him, bring you food. bring you food. Either this Padam this servant, sit with you and eat. But if you don't want him to sit with you and eat make sure you give him something from the food failure. Look at our look methane. And that is a Muslim. And inferiority of any major con for inner who Allah the worldly or Hara, who were the HANA

00:12:13--> 00:12:19

is your cook. Your servant is the one who cook it and put effort in it, at least give him something

00:12:23--> 00:12:29

small things man, my son was telling me, you know, sometimes I send my son to get something from the store.

00:12:30--> 00:12:32

And he told me, my son, I love this.

00:12:33--> 00:12:38

And every time I send him to go, even he's my son, he should go get, you know, it's a free

00:12:39--> 00:12:57

service you get from your children. But you know what, every time I send them to get something from the store or from the restaurant, I make sure is to give him something free. He never asked for it. But I make sure that you get like hey, by yourself, you know this by yourself. I'll keep this change.

00:12:59--> 00:13:05

He feels that small things matter. It makes him feel that I appreciate his effort.

00:13:09--> 00:13:11

These things small things means a lot.

00:13:12--> 00:13:26

He was praying and he heard the child crying. The Prophet SAW Salam said if you have with us, Phil Bihari. I am intend to make this all along but I will cut it so short. Why? Because the child is crying in the back.

00:13:28--> 00:13:35

It matter what the mother feeling isn't the point and what the child's feeling at that point.

00:13:37--> 00:13:40

Even he's a little young boy, but it matter

00:13:42--> 00:13:43

for him Salallahu Salam

00:13:45--> 00:14:10

Salah in Ibiza, Salam sitting, Masha, the elders, the leaders of the Muslim community. On his left side, he looked at the right side and he found Abbas young boy is seven years old. And now he ever the drink Sidna. When you drink you pass it to the one on your right hand side. But he looked at the seven eight years old. And in the left the leaders of that

00:14:11--> 00:14:20

and Mahajan, unsalted one of them how to dinner lead and another ration Abubaker another she's the older and the leaders are Shia Han Mahajan on salt.

00:14:22--> 00:14:33

But it matter he said to him, would you give me a permission to pass it to my left this time because of the are the elders and the leaders

00:14:35--> 00:14:36

of an amber Sedna

00:14:38--> 00:14:48

allow through befogged Leticia Rebecca Dhanurasana Allah Oh, never give this up to drink after you directly. I'm not gonna give it to anyone else.

00:14:50--> 00:14:58

But look how much he cares about their feeling as elder and his feeling as a young man? Because that's his right

00:15:01--> 00:15:06

I'm sure if the problem didn't ask nobody would even notice. But it mattered to him.

00:15:07--> 00:15:08

It's a standard.

00:15:11--> 00:15:31

He sees. Ennis young brother. And his brother was a boy. He said, Yeah, about O'Meara McFadden lawyer. What happened to your little pet? Your your bird? What happened to it? He cares about that not only as a young member in the community and a young boy, but also about that boy's pet

00:15:33--> 00:15:34

and his animal.

00:15:36--> 00:15:38

These little things matter.

00:15:41--> 00:15:43

I'm delighted, Nimbus said,

00:15:45--> 00:15:51

I invite my father invited the process on to my house. So Nick is on give him food and dates.

00:15:52--> 00:15:58

What stuck with Abdullah bin it was something that he noticed it's small things but it matter.

00:16:00--> 00:16:18

You know what? He said, I saw the process of them eating the date, you know, the date and the ball. Okay, and everybody reaching out to the dead. That's right. So hidden, there is a solemn he took the date, he ate it. And when he wants to spit out the seed of the date, what the processor then did.

00:16:20--> 00:16:33

He put his fingers like this, the index and the middle finger like this. And he put the date on the top of the back of his hand here, then he put it away.

00:16:36--> 00:16:45

Why? Because you don't want to be touching it from your mouth, your tip of your fingers. Then you put it again in the date and touching it and

00:16:47--> 00:17:00

even the processor and saliva is the most blessed and the most pure and it's everybody well, what am I but it was not about him. It's about teaching us that even small things like this when you are on the table dinner table matter.

00:17:02--> 00:17:06

proper etiquette matter. proper way of talking matter.

00:17:07--> 00:17:10

Show showing your love in the small things matter.

00:17:11--> 00:17:33

To collage I haven't seen anyone resemble the process on a more than his daughter, Fatima. And she said something maybe small but it mattered. Every time she will walk in, in a piece of Salon will stand up for her. Give her salaam kiss her and let her sit in his spot. He moved from his spot and said You sit there my spot my chair

00:17:34--> 00:17:35

as we say today

00:17:36--> 00:17:46

and she will do the same to him. It matter when your dad every time you see him you show the respect your mom, you show that extra respect

00:17:48--> 00:17:50

and he do the same to your child

00:17:52--> 00:17:53

it makes a big difference.

00:17:55--> 00:18:03

Don't just say this who cares the small little things no it matter and if you get in the habit of caring about these small things you're liable change

00:18:04--> 00:18:09

in Islam when some sneeze you say or hammock Allah you just don't get to go

00:18:11--> 00:18:13

what yes it matter?

00:18:14--> 00:18:32

Anybody did good to you. You make dua for them. You said you suck Allah Hi, Ron. Lash could Allah malesko Nurse. He says so let me not allow to look at somebody's house. Oh, so it's a big deal in passing by looking inside? No, we don't. It matter.

00:18:33--> 00:18:57

And it was also reported landlord Roger V. keytab. Roger, you don't look at your brother's book, which it means his private book, like let's say a ledger in the modern days. You don't just open my you know, check my messages. Like well, like sometimes I'm like, I got a message. And I was like, you want to read gum in his like?

00:18:59--> 00:18:59

What?

00:19:02--> 00:19:08

Exactly, it is weird. PBN, these things it matter, this whole up this add up,

00:19:10--> 00:19:11

makes a big difference.

00:19:12--> 00:19:31

So make sure that you remember that these small little things matter when it comes to relationships, with your family, with your wife, with your husband, with your kids, with your you know, co workers with your community member with your you know, employees matter.

00:19:33--> 00:19:41

Until today, one of the brothers here Allah bring him safe. He's traveling these days. He told me I'll never forget I when I was used to work in south south

00:19:42--> 00:19:43

southwest airlines,

00:19:44--> 00:19:46

the CEO of the whole entire company,

00:19:47--> 00:19:59

had a habit that he will always go spend a full day on the counter on a full day with the guys who put the luggage and a full day with the mechanics

00:20:00--> 00:20:04

On a full day with every person in the company, every group,

00:20:06--> 00:20:08

it matter to them, it makes a difference

00:20:10--> 00:20:16

with your employee, these small things matter, even in your home,

00:20:17--> 00:20:21

and beautiful, beautiful locations, people care about the little small things.

00:20:24--> 00:20:32

People care about, you know, these small little things because it is an innate and like our nature as humans.

00:20:34--> 00:20:51

So I hope that this is something that will raise this kind of, I hope this hope will raise an awareness of these things, especially when it comes to dealing with each other. Especially it comes with the etiquettes and the proper etiquette that deal with each other. Don't just say who cares? Not a big deal. No, it is.

00:20:52--> 00:20:59

It's a big deal to say the bad words to say no to not to be courteous, not to be grateful and thankful.

00:21:00--> 00:21:08

May Allah subhanaw taala and he's a you know, busy little Eman on you have seen of him a hustler club according last summer to Mostofa Allah you will still feel

00:21:11--> 00:21:14

hamdu Lillahi wa salatu salam ala Milena Viva Hobart

00:21:16--> 00:21:18

also small things matter in the mustard

00:21:19--> 00:21:24

it matter that you don't just leave your shoes on the floor

00:21:27--> 00:21:29

or people trip and it

00:21:31--> 00:21:38

it matter when you making sure that when you come to Friday and you pray that if your socks smell bad that I don't put it on

00:21:40--> 00:21:46

because you know what somebody behind me will be his feet my feet will be close to his face

00:21:48--> 00:21:49

it matter

00:21:51--> 00:21:56

that you know what? Will my brother in the mustard told me come closer I come

00:21:57--> 00:22:10

I just don't ignore when I'm passed by someone I give him a smile. It matter a lot when we have someone comes until the Imams you know what this hook really benefited me last week I really appreciate it it matter

00:22:11--> 00:22:22

especially if I have a guest and he's I'm Hey, what's your name? Where you coming from? Thank you for coming to our mustard. It means a lot for us these small full things makes a huge difference

00:22:25--> 00:22:27

you know what also matter

00:22:30--> 00:22:31

that

00:22:32--> 00:22:35

when I give the announcement

00:22:36--> 00:22:38

last week when I give the announcement

00:22:39--> 00:22:40

in the first football

00:22:41--> 00:22:52

as much as Sahabi because we had gift guests from outside the community come in and I was happy about how they were so happy with the message and everything but I was so hurt I'll tell you the truth

00:22:54--> 00:23:01

for a few seconds maybe and after that I love you guys so much that's why I forgive quickly. Um Did I forget to

00:23:03--> 00:23:07

but it hurt me because I'm the same person talking to you right now.

00:23:08--> 00:23:12

Talking in the microphone making the announcement and nobody listening.

00:23:13--> 00:23:15

I'm making the announcement myself. It's for you.

00:23:17--> 00:23:30

And it's not like I have this massage to have announcement two minutes. Some massage will lie the answer to so boring is so long. I make sure I tell them there is no one asked more than one and a half minutes. One minute that shouldn't be the goal

00:23:31--> 00:23:32

announcement

00:23:33--> 00:24:01

but for you to meet to talk and you just talking and not only talking privately no talking out loud that the noise coming from the master is lower than my thought and people like even normal some would like what happened just fine five minutes ago everybody was listening to him when he talks now but very few people listening. That's not correct. That matter that given an image of our community and I'm by the way, this is something very common in the misogyny

00:24:03--> 00:24:12

because we don't see it as a big deal. It is a big deal. And if you want to know how it's a big deal, welcome I will make you do the announcement

00:24:16--> 00:24:18

and you see what it feels like

00:24:22--> 00:24:28

and sometimes the turrets that the first one who talks is the Imam or the or the people on the front.

00:24:29--> 00:24:35

Some misogyny go the comment I said you're a board member come together I said wait let your guy finish that announcement first.

00:24:38--> 00:24:42

You know also what matters and a little thing it's not a little things.

00:24:43--> 00:24:56

The noise that after Salah and I I am asking all of us as a community to make a rule and then want to ask all of our supplements rose from now on. There is no more talk after Salah inside the prayer area.

00:24:57--> 00:24:59

If you want to talk to someone whisper to him

00:25:00--> 00:25:13

But any Anirban by nature loud will lie It's not right will lie. One other thing I would love to do is to play how the noise looks like in sister or brother site after especially when there is a larger number.

00:25:14--> 00:25:16

It's like a fish market.

00:25:17--> 00:25:19
